Is "Noro Panic" turning us into undesirables in port?

This afternoon we received is email from a resort in St. Lucia that we planned to visit during our Summit cruise next week. I'm not aware of the Summit having a particular issue with Noro at this point.

 

 

Dear Guests

I think this is a whole new level of how Noro can impact the enjoyment of a cruise, even for the healthy! This obviously was privately planned, but it makes me wonder...will there be other places we will not be welcomed, once identified as cruise ship passengers?

I'm sorry to hear that, we were planning on going there on our 2/18 Summit cruise as well.

Noro has been reported on many ships recently. The hotels and resorts might just be taking precautions with so many ships in town. It's understandable. We're on Silhouette in March and hope the outbreaks have died down by then.

 

If they cancel our resort passes in St. Croix we'll find other activities.

 

Noro is so contageous I can understand they don't want their regular guests to be exposed but remember, those folks could be bringing the virus on the planes also!

I agree! Our ships are not the only sources in port. This year Noro seems to be taking on a whole new demension.
